A: I started out with my Mom's Instamatic and Dad's Zeiss-Ikon. The Mamiya/Sekor DTL1000 was my first SLR. The Canon EF was the best camera ever made. I went on to the Koni-Omega Rapid 200, Kowa Super 66, Canon F1, Pentax 6X7, Olympus XA, Mamiya RZ-67, Minolta Autocord, Hasselblad 500C/M, Toyo 4x5 and Mamiya 645. My last film camera was a Leica M3. My first digital cameras were the Olympus D320 and Kodak 4800. I now shoot with an Olympus E-1 and Panasonic FX05.
